Flour on your hands, pesto in the air, and a bowl of silky fettuccine you made yourself -- this is your new favorite way to spend an evening in Edgewater! In this hands-on pasta making class, you’ll learn how to make pasta completely from scratch, step by step, in a setting that feels relaxed and welcoming from the moment you walk in.
You’ll start with the fundamentals: selecting the right flour, mixing and kneading dough, then rolling and cutting it into fresh, tender fettuccine. Along the way, you’ll master a vibrant basil pesto recipe and discover how to finish your pasta like a pro, using pasta water to create a glossy sauce that clings to every strand. We’ll also share a bit of pasta history, touching on Italian regional traditions and why certain sauces pair beautifully with specific shapes.
Whether you’re searching for the best pasta in New Jersey, looking for things to do near New York City, or simply craving a new go-to pasta recipe, this class makes it feel doable and fun. You don’t have to be an expert to belong here. Jump into every step or observe, assist, and taste-test your way through. You’ll leave with recipes -- and the confidence to recreate it all at home!
